Chandigarh, July 22, 2025: Mahindra & Mahindra Financial Services Limited (MMFSL), one of India’s leading non-banking financial companies (NBFCs), announced a consolidated net profit of ₹530 crore for the first quarter of the financial year 2025–26 (Q1 FY26). This marks a 3% year-on-year (YoY) increase compared to ₹514 crore reported in the same quarter last year. The performance comes on the back of steady growth in its loan portfolio, robust demand for rural financing, and a continued push towards digital transformation.
Loan Book Expands 15% YoY
MMFSL reported that its loan book stood at ₹1.22 lakh crore as of June 30, 2025, reflecting a healthy 15% growth over the previous year. The company attributed this expansion to the revival of rural markets, increasing demand for tractors and farm equipment, and higher penetration into semi-urban and rural areas.
The company continues to maintain its leadership position in vehicle financing, particularly in the tractor financing segment, which recorded an impressive 21% growth during the quarter. This strong demand underscores the resilience of rural India, supported by favorable monsoon conditions and improved farm incomes.
Net Interest Income Sees Double-Digit Growth
For Q1 FY26, MMFSL reported Net Interest Income (NII) of ₹2,285 crore, a significant 18% rise compared to ₹1,940 crore in the same period last year. The growth in NII was primarily driven by higher disbursements, strong collections, and efficient management of borrowing costs.
The company’s interest income also increased by 15% during the quarter, reflecting both the growth in its loan book and improved yield management. Disbursements for the quarter, however, grew marginally by 1% YoY, suggesting that while demand is stable, the company is focusing on maintaining asset quality and prudent underwriting standards.
Asset Quality Remains Stable
Maintaining asset quality remains a key priority for MMFSL. The company reported Gross Stage 3 (GS3) assets at 3.8%, unchanged from the previous quarter, demonstrating its strong collection mechanisms and robust credit evaluation processes. The combined GS2 + GS3 ratio stood at 9.7%, well within the company’s target range.
Industry analysts note that MMFSL has been consistently improving its collection efficiency and managing delinquencies effectively. This stability in asset quality is critical, especially in a rising interest rate environment and a competitive NBFC market.
Digital Transformation and Technology Initiatives
Mahindra Finance is continuing to invest in digital technologies to enhance customer experience and operational efficiency. During the quarter, the company rolled out a new cloud-based Loan Management System (LMS) designed to streamline lending processes, improve turnaround times, and offer personalized services to customers.
The company is also focusing on data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML) to improve risk assessment and credit decision-making. These technology initiatives are expected to drive sustainable growth and cost optimization over the next few years.
Management Outlook
Commenting on the results, a senior company executive stated:
“Our performance in Q1 FY26 reflects the resilience of our business model and the trust of our customers. We are witnessing steady demand for financing across rural and semi-urban markets, particularly in the tractor and small commercial vehicle segments. With our continued focus on digital transformation, we are confident of delivering balanced and sustainable growth through FY26 and beyond.”
The company aims to maintain a steady trajectory by balancing growth with risk management. It plans to expand its rural reach, launch innovative loan products, and explore new partnerships to strengthen its market position.
Industry Context
The rural financing sector in India has been showing signs of recovery, with rising tractor sales, improving rural consumption, and government initiatives aimed at boosting farm incomes. MMFSL, being a key player in this segment, is well-positioned to benefit from these trends. However, challenges such as interest rate volatility, regulatory changes, and monsoon uncertainties continue to pose risks.
Industry experts believe that MMFSL’s prudent approach to lending, coupled with its strong focus on digitalization and customer-centric services, will help it navigate these challenges effectively.
